And what do you expect from a player who, when asked about figuring out where he fits in the gameplan, gave a vague answer that indicated he had no idea how the gameplan worked other than "puck possession".....

We are seeing quite a trend of late with players coming on board via trade, call-up, and FA, where they just don't seem to fit in and can't play for AV.

Some of this is on the players. Some of this is on the coach. Some of this is on the GM for not seeing the writing on the wall.

Seriously Meds, do you honestly think the problem to this teams woes is all AV? LOL, hell I don't like AV but he ain't the REAL problem here.

This is as comical as those here who said that Bergeron, Lucic, Marchand and Krejci would not be the same players they are today if AV was their coach. LMAO! Give it a break.

You're just frustrated and looking to put a face to the blame, a scapegoat. It's either AV, Edler or Raymond. All I'm saying is that there is a bigger problem here than just those 3. I'd start with the aging Sedins, lack of depth at forward in the goal scoring department, lack of 2nd line depth to play with Kesler. The disappointment in Kassian, not replacing Erhoff's offense, the Luongo fiasco, the Malhotra fiasco, the poor drafting and developing, lack of proper centre ice depth, yet we trade Hodgson for a minor league player to beat up Lucic? blah, blah, blah. AV is not the real problem.

Stuck up here in a Fort McMurray oilfield camp surrounded by albortions and leaf blowers....and I'm still hanging in there! Why the fuck are so many of you ready to roll over and show your bellies already? SNAP out of it!!!!

Where's your Canuck pride for fuck sakes! All you chicken little panickers need to get back on the bus motherfuckers! We need your faith now more than ever. Kesler tore those faggotty homo shark pansies new assholes BY HIMSELF so get you asses back with the program. Enough snivelling out the excuses.

They are going to go down there and slap them around in front of their wives and fans just like we did 2 years ago with an injured Kesler. You can take that to the bank. The cavalry is coming. The pressure we started throwing on them was insane. They stole that game last night and they know it. They were bailing on the puck all over the ice. They had their stars thumped all night. Those bruises are piling up and mark my words...we will win this thing. I can feel it bitches.

LOL...

It's just a ruse, the Nucks are feigning them, got them right where we want them, toss them a 2 game head start and then flip the switch! Even Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) of the Hustler would be impressed.

Kassian generated chances from the fourth line last night FFS. No idea what some of you clowns are whining about.

How did Burrows miss that open net? How could Luongo not make the initial save on the Marleau tying goal?

Sharks got lucky in that one. Hopefully their luck runs out Sunday.

I am conviced that a good numbers of the "fans" on this board don't actually watch the games. Kassian was fine given the garbage linemates he has been saddled with for most of the season. After he scored 5 goals in his first 8 games AV has stapled his ass to the 4th line.

Silver lining is they get knocked out is that AV will finally get the boot and Gillis will be forced to make some signifigant changes to the team.

The BLOBSTER! Are you at the Arms or up in 100 mile house, the Green Lake vicinity is it running a crew of cheap brown guy labour?

I think the Sharks picked up Raffi for a 3rd rounder. The Nucks should of just kept Raffi after the 2011 run and stayed away from Booth. Maybe they can right this wrong in the offseason and make Raffi a nice offer. Get him back here and get rid of Booth. Sure, he may be a pig, but he's a tazmanian devil out there wrecking havoc. I recall reading that a lot of nuck players liked having him to go to war with.
